Splitting

[marksey07]

Very new to java

Simply, i want to split a user input wherever they have put .,! etc...

Then add each split to a separate array

my very basic code...

ArrayList array = new ArrayList();
System.out.println("Enter: ");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String input = null;
try{
input = br.readLine();
} catch (IOException e){
System.out.println("Error");
}

Have a look here for a simple tokenizing method: StringTokenizer (Java Platform SE 6)

...Unless this is an assignment in which you are supposed to create the method yourself? I couldn't tell by your original post.

You can use the Scanner class to get input, and regex class to split on your input

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.*;

public class StringInput {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Scanner sc = new Scanner ( System.in ) ;
        System.out.println("Enter: ");
        String input = sc.nextLine();
        sc.close();
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[!.,]");
        String[] tokens = p.split( input );
        for( String str : tokens){
            System.out.println("->"+str);
        }
    }
}
